Will the Rolling Stones Tour in 2012?
That's a good question, and there are only two answers - yes or no, but which is more likely?
Let's look at the reasons against them touring again first:-
1. It's another tour, which means lots of organisation and work and energy is required. They really have to be up for it individually before the thing can work. There isn't much chance of the 2012 tour happening if all four key members aren't up for it.
2. Mick has his Super Heavy project which is taking up his time and his energies. He has to see that through before he could change direction I think.
3. They're running out of time. A world tour takes a lot of planning and organising and we're already at the end of October 2011 as I write this. Their option may be a smaller tour.
4. Keith and Mick are apparently arguing again, or at least they don't see eye to eye on a Rolling Stones tour. That's nothing new but it affects how things pan out.
5. They certainly don't need the money but then that's been true for many years.
6. Their age is becoming a factor in what they do now - and it imposes some limits on touring.
Now lets look at the reasons in favour of a 2012 Rolling Stones Tour:-
1. It's the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary - this is going to be really difficult not to capitalize on - which other band can boast a 50th anniversary tour? Not many I'll bet.
2. There are plenty of people who will buy the tickets and come to the shows, especially as they will expect this tour to be the 'Last Time'.
3. As mentioned earlier, they don't need the money, but they don't tour for the money - they tour because they love being in front of an audience.
4. They will get an opportunity to beat U2 in the touring record stakes, although I can't see why this is important. If U2 were playing Rolling Stones songs I could see why it might be important to sell more tickets. Other than that it's irrelevent in my opinion.
5. Tours are the best way to sell the band and it's back catalogue, especially as there can't be many more world tours to come from the Rolling Stones now.
So which way will it go? My guess is they will tour in 2012 but they may decide to play more smaller venues (I hope), which has to be better than watching them on a screen at the other end of Twickenham.
I'm sure the Glimmer Twins will let us know what is happening in good time, like they always do......

There will likely be some shows. Likely huge, massive events but I'm guessing a mere handful.

"Mick has his Super Heavy project which is taking up his time and his energies. He has to see that through before he could change direction I think."
Huh?
Its done. And dead in the water. The promotion for that venture is over.
"Keith and Mick are apparently arguing again".
What's this based on? Is this the same 'argument' from 'Life' or a new one?
"They're running out of time. A world tour takes a lot of planning and organising and we're already at the end of October 2011 as I write this. Their option may be a smaller tour."
As they're unlikely to tour before at least the summer, how do you assume theyre running out of time? How do you even assume they havent already started planning a tour?
They will almost certainly be performing in 2012.

I'm merely looking at both sides of the question. Assumptions have to be made when there is no hard evidence to the contrary. Like I said in my conclusion I expect there will be a tour, in spite of the reasons why there may not be one...

Thank goodness SH is sunk. Yes Gazza's right that is finally a non-issue. I like to see Ronnie stand up and say something like" No , I'm too bust with the Faces, can't go out with you Stones this year. heh heh We would find out just how important he is to the boys then. It's time for a Ronnie power play. Just for our entertainment if nothing else.
I stick to my story that they will perform a few BIG events for the 50th, but no tour, so to speak. Jeff Beck and Mick Taylor along for the ride and to help with guitar duties. This is going to happen.
And I'm sure we will have every guitar player in the biz vying to get a sit in spot on that 2012 Stones stage. Everyone knowing that it could be their last chance. Bill Wyman is sure to join in as long as the airplane problem can be worked around. It will probably be only two shows, one in America, One in Europe, with pay per view audiences around the world. Like a Live Aid thing. All the money will be donated to help some cause of the day and the Stones will walk out of history on a golden plank and with BIG smiles on their faces. peace.

(one of many such ads popping up all over the internets)
The Rolling Stones Tickets
The Rolling Stones TicketsThe Rolling Stones tickets are among the most sought-
after concert tickets in all of music
Sign up now for The Rolling Stones tickets alert and be the first to find out when
you can order Rolling Stones tickets at Select-A-Ticket.
Millions of fans have seen The Rolling Stones over the years and millions more are
likely to see the Stones in concert before all is said and done.
As their 50th anniversary approaches, word is the Rolling Stones will do one final,
major world tour!
(just hope somehow this turns into a fun thing for mick and keith. if mick
and keith find a way to have fun with it, and with each other, then it will
be all good, whether or not the intensity is there, whether or not there's
a new album. just them two being happy together for a few months would be
enough. please don't do it, stones, if you're fighting though. could not bear it.)

Let's look at the reasons against them touring again first:-

There isn't much chance of the 2012 tour happening if all four key members aren't up for it.Oh please - their organisation is a well-oiled machine.
2. Mick has his Super Heavy project which is taking up his time and his energies. He has to see that through before he could change direction I think.
3. They're running out of time. A world tour takes a lot of planning and organising and we're already at the end of October 2011 as I write this. Their option may be a smaller tour.I repeat - they are a well-oiled machine.
4. Keith and Mick are apparently arguing again, or at least they don't see eye to eye on a Rolling Stones tour. That's nothing new but it affects how things pan out.And you know this how? Rumours, right?
5. They certainly don't need the money but then that's been true for many years.To quote Keith: "It's about the glory, darlin'. The glory"
6. Their age is becoming a factor in what they do now - and it imposes some limits on touring.Now THIS is insulting to those of us who are 'a certain age'.It's ageist, pure and simple. Certainly, we do slow down a bit - but we live and do what our passions dictate. The Stones are passionate about the music, playing and performing.
Now lets look at the reasons in favour of a 2012 Rolling Stones Tour:-
1. It's the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary - this is going to be really difficult not to capitalize on - which other band can boast a 50th anniversary tour? Not many I'll bet.
2. There are plenty of people who will buy the tickets and come to the shows, especially as they will expect this tour to be the 'Last Time'.

So which way will it go? My guess is they will tour in 2012 but they may decide to play more smaller venues (I hope), which has to be better than watching them on a screen at the other end of Twickenham.
I'm sure the Glimmer Twins will let us know what is happening in good time, like they always do......Indeed they will. Patience please, to coin a phrase!
